some knowledge of tcp/ip is helpful.

comments: good print server for the price requires a bit of know how when it comes to tcp/ip.
from www.newegg.com
i haven't had it reboot on me yet nor had to reboot the unit from non-response.bad:the initial configuration can be a booger if you don't have a working knowledge of tcp/ip, especially ip subnets.

it helps to have some tcp/ip knowledge, but for the price you cant beat it.

the go into your printer properties, choose the port tab and add a tcp/ip port based on the ip you assigned the print server.

first create a new printer following the manual instructions and under tcp/ip assign it an ip address.
from www.amazon.com
the only functional issue i have come across is that it works beautifully when configured as a tcp/ip printer port using the ip address.

from A Customer from Naperville, IL, clickfrom.buy.com
note carefully: unless you use tcp/ip print servers on windows on a regular basis, read the manual!!!!
from A Customer from chatsworth CA, clickfrom.buy.com
they tell you to accept the default name when creating the printer port - basically the tcp/ip address with an extension.
from www.amazon.com
it is actually added, not as a network printer, but as a local printer that you configure as a standard tcp/ip port.
from www.amazon.com
the main difference was that d-link suggested installing the print server as a local tcp/ip printer instead of a networked printer and, bingo, i got the jetdirect to print.
from www.newegg.com
you can easily follow the instructions from the book after that, but where it says to select the tcp/ip port, just select lpr instead.

from www.amazon.com
the other thing that it does not tell you is that you have to switch the printer settings from a usb set up to a tcp/ip.
from www.newegg.com
you install the needed drivers for the printer, create a new tcp/ip port to point to the ip address of the print server and print away.

from www.newegg.com
instead of configuring a network printer you need to install the printer yourself as a "local" printer and configure a tcp port.
from WiredGuy, www.newegg.com
cons: none so far other thoughts: a good working knowledge of tcp/ip addressing on your network will make the installation easy.

other thoughts: for this to work without problems on vista, you will need to manually configure a tcp/ip printer port and then add the printer as a "local" printer.
from www.amazon.com
then check "create new port" and choose "standard tcp/ip port", which will pop up the port wizard.
